pfs_umount is hung

[Sheriff Andy]

The files are in lowercase, but now I don't see the root:bin ownership. Is this a concern?

Why would you expect to see files which come from a completely foreign machine and proably a foreign OS to match your boxes UID's and GID's -- if the concept even exists on the foreign OS? By convention, -1 indicates unknown and -2 indicates anonymous on most flavors of UNIX. Normally, your installation program is either going to prompt you for a user and group or will assume the effective UID and GID of the installer when copying the files.

Thx Clay,

Sounds like I don't really need to concern myself with it.

When I ran pfs_mount earlier, the ownership was root:sys.

Thx again,
Andy

Hi,

for mounting DVDs I don't use the option 'rr' at all - only 'cdcase'. If I remember correctly, 'rr' had that effect for such media.
I use 'rr' solely for CDs.
